Residential Real Estate Loan Officer

  • NMLS #1051393

Melissa Puepke's passion for real estate was sparked when she purchased her first home while working in a bank's loan department, and she has never looked back. With years of experience and a commitment to staying current on market trends, Melissa guides clients through all financing options with a focus on transparency, meeting each person where they are and communicating in a way that feels clear and comfortable. At First Dakota, she works to anticipate each customer's needs and help them reach a positive outcome.

When she is not working, Melissa enjoys time with her family, gathering for games and reunions and soaking up those shared experiences. She and her husband love fishing and boating on Lake Oahe, and tending perennials in the garden that are passed down through generations of family.
